Washlngton, D. C, Nov. 23,—With
conferences between Attorney General Gregory and representatives of the
railroads in progrss here, there still
exists a deadlock today *s to which
railroad suit shall be used to test the
constitutionality of the Adamson eight
hour law in the supreme court ot the
United States.
A. iH. Harris, of the New York Central and Chester M. Daw,_ ot the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad
were closeted with the attorney general for hours today in an effort to
reach an agreement on tbe case. The
government would be satisfied to appeal the case of the Missouri, Oklahoma and Gulf railroad, in which Judge
Book, at Kansas City yesterday de
clared the Adamson law unconstitutional. The railroad representatives
declare such a course would be unfair
because: r
ti The Missouri, Oklahoma aad Gulf is
a short roadtwhlch has wage agreements m lth —*T»B*,ea tUat«*ap aottynf-
csl of tntiak^neT; ^fRIPR
The business of the road te of such
a nature that the effect of the law on
alFolassea of traffic would not be given a fair test;
The number ot men .employed does
aot bear a sufficiently proper proportion 'to the value of tbe property;
The road Is In the hands of receivers and, therefore, Is not under normal
operating conditions.
lt Is reported here the railroads
want to take either the Santa Fe or
the Union Pacific case, the former due
to be decided in Kansas City, Kansas,
today, to the supreme court because
those roads are called typical trunk

French Attacks Against the Teuton Lines in the
West Are Turned Back—Capture of Orsova and Its
Roumanian Garrison Expected to Be Announced
Soon.
international News Service.
Berlin, Germany, Nov.'23.—Tbe retreat of the Roumanian garrison at
Orsova, estimated at an army corpt
in strength, has been cut off by the
victorious Austro-German army ot
General von Falkenhayn.
Dispatches from the Roumanian
front today Indicated that the capture
of Orsova and its Roumanian garrison
would be tbe .next big victory announced In that theatre of war.
While the Germans and Austro-
Hungarians have been cuttihg deep
into the heart of Roumania. the German allies have also succeeded in halting the advance of the entente forces
around Monastir in Macedonia. However, the big battle which developed
along tbe new line of the German
and Bulgarian forces north, west ant:
east of Monastir continues with unabated fury.
The war office communication
reads:
■ "Transylvanian front—Army group
of Archduke Joseph. ^
On the eastern frontier of Transylvania there have been engagements
between reconnoltering detachments
Tbe Russian army on that front has
been reinforced. In Wallachla (Roumanian plain) the situation is unchanged. At Craiova, besides other
booty, 300 railroad cars fell into our
bands.
"Army group of Field Marshal von
MaCatecsen—In Dohrudja and alone
the Danube there bas been artillery
activity."
"Artillery and Infantry firing occur-
red at some points along the Danube.
The Roumanians sank barges and destroyed the blrdge near Corabla. They
set fire to stores of ammunition at
that place. In Dobrudja listless artillery fighting occurred with some advance guard engagements on outright
wing. The situation on the Black Sea
coast Is unchanged."
The foregoing statement indicates
that the Roumanian forces in the
southwestern part of Roumania bave
begun to retire. The bridge mention-
i ed was evidently a temporary pontoon
structure. Corabia is on the Danube
fifty miles southeast ot Craiova. ,
A supplemental statement by the
war office reported the repulse of .entente attacks between Lake Ochrida
and Lake Presba, north of Monastir,
in the bend of the Tcherna river,
and aot of Paralova. South of Monastic an allied aeroplane was shot
down In flames. There were no ar-
itlllery duels along the Vurdar river.

Washlngton, D. C, Nov. 23,—With
conferences between Attorney General Gregory and representatives of the
railroads in progrss here, there still
exists a deadlock today *s to which
railroad suit shall be used to test the
constitutionality of the Adamson eight
hour law in the supreme court ot the
United States.
A. iH. Harris, of the New York Central and Chester M. Daw,_ ot the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad
were closeted with the attorney general for hours today in an effort to
reach an agreement on tbe case. The
government would be satisfied to appeal the case of the Missouri, Oklahoma and Gulf railroad, in which Judge
Book, at Kansas City yesterday de
clared the Adamson law unconstitutional. The railroad representatives
declare such a course would be unfair
because: r
ti The Missouri, Oklahoma aad Gulf is
a short roadtwhlch has wage agreements m lth —*T»B*,ea tUat«*ap aottynf-
csl of tntiak^neT; ^fRIPR
The business of the road te of such
a nature that the effect of the law on
alFolassea of traffic would not be given a fair test;
The number ot men .employed does
aot bear a sufficiently proper proportion 'to the value of tbe property;
The road Is In the hands of receivers and, therefore, Is not under normal
operating conditions.
lt Is reported here the railroads
want to take either the Santa Fe or
the Union Pacific case, the former due
to be decided in Kansas City, Kansas,
today, to the supreme court because
those roads are called typical trunk
